HE’S THE LOVE
Written & Composed by Lilly Million
CHORUS
He’s the love (X5)
And you’ve been knocking on all these doors
You don’t even know what for
He’s the love your hungry soul is waiting on
VERSE 1
The sun stays shining
While the moon goes hiding
Sail boats stay afloat
Above the sea
Bulging, spreading
All these forces pulling
Everybody knows how gravity feels
PRE-CHORUS
But then we ask the good Lord for
One more miracle, to prove he’s real
But then we ask the good Lord
For one more miracle, to prove he’s real
VERSE 2
You say it’s such a talent
Never seen nothing like it
Don’t you ever wonder?
Whose gift it was to give
You ask how I believe in GOD
But in the movies they all call GOD
Somewhere we all know
Who our Father is
PRE-CHORUS 2
But then we ask the good Lord for
One more miracle, to prove he’s real
But then we ask the good Lord for
One more miracle, to prove he’s real
But then I ask the good Lord for
One more miracle, to prove he’s real
CHORUS
He’s the love (X5)
And you’ve been knocking
On all these doors
You don’t even know what for
He’s the love your hungry soul
Is waiting on, is waiting on
BRIDGE
Fall into his open arms
Receive forgiveness, hope
And freedom from those bonds
Of hell you faced
Your every sin and curse
Those evil deeds and thoughts
Were paid for on one cross
Oh Great Mercy (repeat all)
Oh great mercy
Oh great mercy
Oh great mercy
OUTRO
But still we ask the good Lord for
One more miracle, to prove he’s real
Still I ask the good Lord
For one more miracle, to prove he’s real
CHANGE IS HARD
Written & Composed by Lilly Million
VERSE 1
What’s the word out there? (x3)
Tell me what’s the word out there?
Are you too drunk on yourself?
Too laced up to even care?
Tripping on your feet
You’re awake but you’re asleep
There is so much on my mind
Asking me for some release
So I’m chasing the sound
Before my secrets come out again
Yeah I’m chasing the sound
Before my secrets come out again
CHORUS
I’ve told them before, I don’t need to tell them again
It’s too familiar I’m finished with being that way
Now I’m late night on a plane trying to reach Heaven
VERSE 2
What’s the status now? What’s the status now?
Is it sinister and foul but a little bit good
To make you proud
You believe or you doubt
When you open your mouth what comes out
When you sit and take it in
Your condition all your sin
That conviction deep within
Asking what is your decision
About all them lies all them lies on your tongue
All them lies all them lies on your tongue
[CHORUS]
BRIDGE
Look at my feet, see where
I bring the mud in
Water come down
Look at my hands
They have done so much bad
With all the good that I had
Water come down
And wash me Sober over and under
Bright and new I’ll come for you
So water come down water come down
I want to be free so come for me
[CHORUS]
PRETENCE
Written & Composed by Lilly Million
VERSE 1
A sinister madness creeps in
And my mind is gone too
Far to come back down
It will surely crash into my heart
And I scream to the night
But it stays silent
Yet it has my dreams
So this plight has no near ending so
PRE-CHORUS
I remain in this uncomfortable world
Where the rain falls down
And it refuses to go
But when my loved ones come
To ask me what’s wrong
CHORUS
I play pretend, pretend,
Pretend, pretend, pretend.
VERSE 2
Wide world have you ever heard
Of a flower turned into a tree
No neither have I
So where did the hope for that come from
I broke my fears
And I ran straight into the Sandstorm
And it dried my tears
But what’s left is a cyclone of untamed emotions
[PRE-CHORUS]
[CHORUS]
BRIDGE
A tool so cruel or am I the only one
Struggling to run, struggling to walk
Let alone to fly
I’m still broken
But I keep using this tool it’s so cruel
VERSE 3
But then there is peace
For a brief moment there is peace
A hope to carry me through
A Father to lean on inside a prayerful song
CHORUS 2
Where I’m just safe with him
Where I’m just free
And I don’t play pretend, pretend, pretend
I don’t play pretend, pretend, pretend,
No I don’t play pretend, pretend, pretend.
HOLD ON
Written & Composed by Lilly Million
VERSE 1
You heard all my secrets
And still you came
A heavy heart so open
And still you came
Patiently you negotiated
With my fears and doubts
To make me let you stay
Now you’re here and you’re
Loving me freely
Teaching me to serve
I’ll do the best that I can
I can
CHORUS
In all our failures
Our hopes and our winnings
I pray we hold on to him
Cause our love has its limits
But in Christ it’s endless
I pray we hold on to him
And he’ll hold us to each other too
VERSE 2
Neither of us are perfect
And this we know don’t we know
But I thank God for the time and space
He’s given us to grow
For every day that we have granted to us
Let’s not forget his word
And what he’s brought us to
But I never knew that
So can I just say this?
Blaque My dude I’m so thankful for you.
[CHORUS]
BRIDGE
So here we are let’s begin
One breath one day at a time
We’ll build, we’ll trust
Till our hearts sing
One hope one Glory
[CHORUS]
WHOLE
Written & Composed by Lilly Million
VERSE 1
Just like rain falls so do I without fail
Under the gravity of my sin
I’m crushed and torn
It’s too hard for me to bare
And just like morning
A holy Grace is there
But just like a little child
Too young to recognise his powerful love
And how it makes me
CHORUS
Whole (x4)
VERSE 2
Over and over again
Miles and miles of words
Of fervent prayers
Go up to heaven ears
Asking the good Lord why
Bad things happen to fairly good kids
We don’t see he is the light
Violently piercing through
The darkness that’s inside
Our hearts and that is where he plucks its roots
And makes us
CHORUS
Whole (x4)
BRIDGE
An ode to the weak
For all of those who seek
Thirsting for his word
And freedom from above
I pray your hearts will find
True love and peace of mind
Through the man on Calvary
Through our God who sets us free
We’re all lost in this world
Now is the time
Stand on his word
Call out his name a
And fall to your knees
Believe on Jesus
What, What a Friend
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
What a Friend
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah
CHORUS
He makes us whole
Whole (x4)
He makes us whole
BACK HOME
Written by Lilly Million & Janette Watson
INTRO + RAP (Janette…ikz)
Me and Lilly, her and me was chilling
Talking about the days that I was so low
I was walking on the ocean floor
I had no oxygen, I could not breathe
I knew I did not have enough air
When I took that leap
Now I’m in too deep
And no one else can save me
Sin so enticing, now its tryna kill me
If I’m deserving, my end is drawing near
I once was lost, I once was blind
But now I see so clear
RAP
Back to redeem the time/No more sleeping in the middle of the night/I fight
Bright and morning star/I walk in like gladly/Lilly can we blossom/Like the lily in the valley
VERSE 1
Heart hurt Oh I was sinking low by myself
Mind gone, a prisoner to myself
With nowhere else to go
I had to let you know
I need some help
Cause when my soul bleeds
Devil feeds, how do I keep myself
CHORUS
Who’s gonna save me now
Cause I know that I’ve gone
Too many times down this endless hole
Who’s gonna save me now
But then there it is again
Your love over there
Calls me back home
VERSE 2
Dark skinned, wide eyed
The mirror stares, this is my face
So I cut my hair, grew my nails
Put on red lips, to see it best
And they say well done Lilly,
You’ve done very well
For yourself
But when my soul bleeds
Devil feeds
How do I keep myself?
[CHORUS]
BRIDGE
You’re a light in the dark
Calm in my storm
You’re a voice singing peace
Calling me home
I know I’ve gone so far away
I’m longing just to
Feel your heart again my friend
I know I’ve gone so far away
I’m longing just to
Feel your heart again my friend
[CHORUS]
JERICHO
Written & Composed by L. Million, C. Nyathando, M. Ngubane, A. Musuka
CHORUS
Josh he fit the battle of Jericho (x3)
And the walls, oh the walls
The walls came tumbling down
VERSE 1
All these opinions in my head
How many arguments do we have left?
Who do you believer when
Everybody’s tongue is,
Everybody’s tongue is loose
And if you dare to refute
They say you’re straying from the truth
Oh Lord, am I really sure
That I’m living for your good book
And this doubt is worrying
Revive my faith and
Help me sing like a child again
[CHORUS]
VERSE 2 – (Pompi)
You see I/hear different people coming my way/for some things I’m like nah/you can hit the highway/one time/one particular Friday/we were not one all believers/can I say/ had a question/which one is the path?/All quoting scripture/saying/you do the math/then came a scientist/I admit/I thought/is it legit?/evolution dinosaurs do I gotta take a pick?/think pause/who is the source/they’ll give me revelation/truth no flaws in the mix/Christ gonna fix/All the confusion al put to rest/ all picturesque that cross/nothing more is the reason we blessed/yes
[CHORUS]
RAP – (Blaque Nubon)
Everybody wants my heart to say/ black and white is the God I praise/ my problem is that God is rea/ his heart still is full of zeal/ey!/you don’t get it do you?/I’m tired of listening to you/compromising conversations caught up in your world view/persona is kaleidoscope/horizon is a ray of hope/I’m made in his image/picture large that’s why you can’t cope/let me be me/reflective of the great he/the cross is the path I chose/and captain is the G-o-d/done!
BRIDGE – (Abel Chungu)
I go, where you go, that’s what I call I faith
Why you move the mountains
Don’t stand in your way
I bend my knees
Stretch my hands up to pray
Cause all that you told me
IS trust and obey (x2)
[CHORUS]
SAVIOUR
Written & Composed by Lilly Million
He came straight from heaven
Don’t you remember?
The words in the Father’s whispers to us
Before the face brick church
And the big brown doors
He taught us of his love
Before the brand new pews
And the shiny windows
He said give your brothers that love
PRE-CHORUS
But somewhere in between
Our sin and salvation
We lost sight of the highest truth
We’ve clean forgotten
Too self-righteous and holy
But don’t forget who gets the glory
And that the whole point
In the good book is that our
CHORUS
Saviour, Saviour
Saviour Jesus is alive (x2)
VERSE 2
And he came
The weak, the broken,
The tired and yes the unjust
That’s just the power of his grace
And you once knew
What that Grace felt like
Before you straightened out and found a girl
And oh you’re married now
He taught you of his love
Before you changed your life
And clean your mess
You’re looking so pretty wow
He said give your sister’s that love
[PRE-CHORUS]
[CHORUS]
[PRE-CHORUS]
[CHORUS]
OUTRO
He’s alive, yes he is
He’s alive, you didn’t know
He’s alive, now you know he is alive

CRAZY BELIEVER
Witten and Composed by Lilly Million
VERSE 1
Is it crazy, crazy to believe?
Am I stupid not thinking?
But crazy to believe?
When I see the state of my soul
I see the need for a Saviour
You told me Jesus
But how do you suggest?
How do you suggest?
VERSE 2
Is it crazy, crazy to believe?
I was lost broken and filthy
I’m glad you came for me
That deep dark hole in my soul
It finally found pure gold
And I know it was you Lord
But how do you suggest?
How do you suggest?
VERSE 3
Is it crazy, crazy to believe?
Are we not liars, brutes, and attackers
Are we not thieves?
Unjust rulers, abusers, rapists, backstabbers
Evil deed doers
But how do you suggest
Jesus (x3)
BRIDGE
I pray you never, I pray that you never let go.
I pray you never, I pray that you never let go
I pray you never, I pray that you never let go God
Jesus
VERSE 4
Is it crazy, crazy to believe?
I’m not stupid no
I’ve been thinking and that’s why I believe
In a love much deeper than mine
In a power more stronger than mine
But oh lord how do I suggest?
Oh lord how do I suggest?
Jesus (X3)
GREAT LOVE
Written & Composed by Lilly Million
CHORUS
What a great love
What a great love
To pull me from so low
And raise me up beside you
You freed my soul
And I cannot but
Praise You for This Love
For This Love
So I’ll live my life in worship to your name
This earth will pass but your word will remain
I place my hope in Jesus Christ
And his perfect sacrifice
I live for him and I am unashamed
VERSE 1
Oh but when I’m in battle
And my strength grows weary
When temptation sings its sweet song
And my heart starts to listen
When I give in to my own sin
And I find I’m lost and broken
I’m unworthy Lord don’t use me
Still you give your hand of healing
[CHORUS]
VERSE 2
Oh but when I don’t remember
All my sisters and brothers
When I’m living, for my own gain
For myself and no other
My ambitions, and achievements
They outweigh
Your call of service
I’m unworthy, Lord don’t use me
Still you give your hand
Of Healing
BRIDGE
And when I sit and think about
The son of God dying for me
It brings me to my Knees
I was blind but now I see
And when I sit and think about
The son of God dying for me
It brings me to my knees
And my soul
Cannot help but sing
[CHORUS]
